Abstract：

The father of occupational medicine, Bernadino Ramazzini (1633-1714), early mentioned that work was also a cause of disease and that, when taking a history, a physician should routinely ask the patient about his work(1). It was not, however, until after the Industrial Revolution (1760-1830) that the relationship between work and disease began to receive more serious attention(2).
